    Dear Lisa, you are a role model to me and I love watching your videos. I understand that your PEI mugs are so wanted. They are pretty and people like to be part of something. With the mug they can feel unique because only a few people are born and raised in that part of the world. That is special and with the mug they can show it. But I understand that you don’t wanna “produce” it all the time because as a potter you love being creative and you wanna do different things to feel and bring out the creativity. Yesterday I finally got the fonts you recommended. The guys from MKM gave me a free tool with my order. I’m so happy and can’t wait to use the stamps when I am back home. But until then I will enjoy my vacation and will watch more of your videos. Have a great day. Suza
